No sun will shine in my day today.
(no sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won't come out to play.
(that high yellow moon won't come out to play)
I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light
(and has changed) and has changed my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found?
Won't someone tell me?
'Cause life (sweet life has to be)
must be somewhere to be found.
(out there somewhere for me)

Instead of concrete jungle.
Where the living is hardest.
Concrete jungle.
Man you got to do your best.

No chains around my feet but I'm not free.
I know I am bound here in captivity.
I've never known happiness.
I've never known what sweet caress is.
Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown.
Won't someone help me?
'Cause I (sweet life has to be)
I've got to pick myself from off the ground.
(out there somewhere for me)

In this a concrete jungle.
I said, what do you got for me now?
Concrete jungle.
Why don't you let me be now?

I said that life (sweet life has to be)
must be somewhere to be found.
(out there somewhere for me)

Instead of concrete jungle, illusion, confusion.
Concrete jungle.
You name it, we've got it in concrete jungle.
Concrete jungle.
What do you got for me now?
